How to Cheat Your Sims 4 Career With Mods
Most Sims 4 players use two popular mods: MC Command Center and UI Cheats Extension. Both of these mods allow players to easily advance their Sims’ careers. Here’s how to do it:
These modifications require script mods to be turned on in The Sims 4. To check, go to Game Options, then the Other section, and make sure the “Scripts Mods Allowed” box is checked. If it isn’t, check it and restart the game to activate the mods.
UI Cheats Extension Career Cheats
- UI Cheats Extension download link
The UI Cheats Extension mod gives players full control over their Sims’ careers. You can easily promote or demote them, adjust their work performance, select different career paths, and instantly complete both daily tasks and promotion requirements.
Players can find detailed cheats by opening the Jobs tab in the bottom right panel while working a career. Simply right-click on the green bar displaying their current job title to open a menu with the available options.
- Promote
- Demote
- Promote to Max Level
- Demote to Before Branch Selection or Promote to Branch Selection
- Change Career Branch
- [Pick preferred career level]
Players can also adjust their Sim’s performance directly from the performance bar by right-clicking, which affects how likely they are to receive a raise or promotion.
MCCommand Center Career Cheats
- MC Command Center download link
For more customization options, players can download MC Command Center. This tool lets you do things like promote or demote Sims, and even adjust how many vacation days they have.
To use Career Cheats within MC Command Center, first select a Sim and click the Deadpool icon. Then, navigate to MC Cheats > Cheat Sim Info > Career Cheats. From there, you can promote, demote, or have your Sim quit their job. You can also adjust their vacation days – MC Command Center allows up to 99 days, letting your Sim enjoy a paid, extended break!
Best Sims 4 Career Cheats
While The Sims 4 has several career-related cheats, it’s more useful for players to learn the ones that help them get promoted. You rarely need to lower your Sim’s career level, so focusing on promotions is the most practical approach.
Players can advance their careers by using cheats. They should type “careers.promote [career name]”, replacing “[career name]” with the specific career they want to progress in. For instance, a player who chose the Secret Agent career would type “careers.promote secretagent” to get an immediate promotion.
A helpful cheat lets you instantly unlock all furniture and build mode items that are normally locked behind career progression. Simply type “bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement” into the cheat console, and all locked items – including those specific to certain careers – will become available.
